[Foundation-l] Pending Changes development update: October 6

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi everyone,

Pending Changes work continues apace.  The big thing we'd like to call
everyone's attention to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pending_changes/Feedback#Call_for_specific_feedback_on_UI_elements

We'd really like to get your input on specific suggestions that we can
implement quickly.  Speak now or forever hold your peace.  Well, maybe
not forever, but until after November.  At least, if you want to
implement your idea by November.

Here are the main development tasks that are active right now:
Bug 25294 - "Reject" button confirmation screen in Pending Changes
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25294

Bug 25289 - Make review load faster by speeding up display of old revisions
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25289

We'll be deploying the updates to these just as soon as they get
checked in.  Here's the location of the wiki we're using for testing
development versions:

...and finally, here's the full list of issues:

For those of you who might have missed it, Pending Changes was the
primary topic for Sue Gardner's office hour last week.

otherwise, please remark on the feedback page:

Thanks!
